Hey guys need some help, we are switching over my GC's and Tokico Illum. from my old civic coupe into my new hatchcrap and taking the stocka suspension and put that into the coupe. Anyways we started the coupe yesterday, got all the suspension off in about 30 mins which i was proud of

Today we started the hatch, and we start on the front and to our appaul we cant get one of the damn brake line bolts off the front shock/spring assembly..! Its the one in the hard *** to reach spot. This car is a 94 VX w/170,000 miles, any suggestions on what to do?? I tried WD-40 and etc. Its starting to frustrate me, almost broke down and brought air t00ls. The bastard bolt also broke on of my wrenches....RIP buddy.

Anyways all help is appreciated..!

cut it off, and tie wrap your brake line...or soak it in some PB Blaster put a 6 sided socket on it...and beat your ratchet w/ a big *** mallet.

Use a breaker bar.... it'll come off

tried the breaker bar idea- i think I have something figured out though. There was some sort of shieldy thingy in the way - so we are gonna remove that and then use the breaker bar again Also going to pick up some PB Blaster..

Thanks all

breaker bars are awesome.. no but seriously they do help get some leverage on the bolt and break it off..

Some appropriately placed heat from say, a propane torch perhaps? Let the physical law of thermal expansion do some work for you. Just don't set aflame anything important. Between that and a B.F. wrench, and you'll either have all the tools you need to do the job, or else all the tools you need to trip postal

didnt think about the heat idea - if all else fails then we'll go to that..
